Well there I was in my F150 enjoying some time away from work when I saw something pull up next to me and stop. I looked over in disbelief as I saw a chain hanging from an Astro Van and stung under a Semi Tractor Trailor. After a couple minutes of work these two guys rigged chains from the the Astro Van to the Semi and started to pull away. This has to be the funny thing i have seen in person in a very long time.

what pulled up next to me
how they rigged it
starting to pull away
pulling away and getting ready to get on a very major highway


More pics to come as they get to my inbox...took them with my cell phone

That's even better than when I saw people trying to tow a car using bungee cords.

To that minivan's credit, it was probably the most heavy duty minivan ever produced. But that's not saying nearly enough for that to be safe.

Nope.

It matters that it's an Astrovan because that means it's a truck frame. Dodge minivans have always been car based.

About a month ago I was driving down the highway and there was a truck towing a car with nothing but a tow strap, that's all. They were doing 65ish too. I almost followed them just so I could watch them try and stop and see the car slam into the back of the truck.
